blessings in disguise.

well i thought i would never make it through today.

i woke up exhausted and had a long day ahead of me.

not a good place to be in.  but have no fear!  i survived!

i had to keep reminding myself that it was going to be a good day, and i had the ability to make it just that.

and it ended up being fine by the end of the day!

we had a water balloon fight and it was fun.

ava asked me today why i had so many bug bites on my back....and neck.
i didn't have the heart to tell her it is acne.
but my point exactly why i started an acne medicine this week.

then i had another bike ride tonight. and it was glorious.

sometimes, when riding, i just can't help but marvel at the beauty of creation.

have you ever stopped and looked?  like really looked?

the grass, sky, clouds.  it's amazing.

and even more amazing that the creator of that made me. 

little, silly, ole me.

and if He cares about that piece of grass and tree, how much more He cares for me.

it honestly blows my mind sometimes. and i know i don't take enough time to marvel at it all.

so take time tomorrow to marvel at it all.

cause you never know when it will all be taken from us--or altered in a way we're not able to enjoy it like we could.

i heard this song in the car and just fell in love.

how God has been teaching me about waiting, and the fact that things might not go the way i want {or think they will go}. but it is all for HIS plan...not mine. 

and how things can feel so horrible at the time, only later to be seen the real meaning behind it all.

sometimes we don't have the privilege of seeing why tough times happen, but one day, we will.

He hears. even when it seems He doesn't.

i hope you enjoyed as much as i did.

makes me feel a bit more relaxed at the uncertainly of it all.

happy thursday..the weekend is so close!
